Advanced dreamweaver and php question

Question

Hi I have a portal type of website for hairdressing and
beauty industry.
I am wanting to know if it is possible to have one register
form so that the the user can use more than one area:
Register for Directory/Classifieds - free registration and
use except for banner advertising
Register for Article Manager - free registratiion and use
Register to Search CV's - free registration and paid service
on a time limit
Register to place Job Advert & Search CV's - free
registration and paid service on a time limit
Register to place CV online for employers to pay and search -
free registration and use
I am currently using radio buttons to have all listings
inactive until approved by me to then change to active. Users on
registration can list their CV, Job Ad and Article but won't be
shown live until then. Job Ad, CV Search is a paid feature so I was
thinking of having session variables assigned to them.
I also have a radio button for the Job Ads and CV's that they
can hide or show public so that it is only shown live when they
need it to be.
Lastly I was going to have a radio button for expired or
notexpired so that when someone has registered and can still log in
to the system if it is expired there will be a note saying to renew
payment.
I know this sounds a lot but I would love that there is one
registration for customer convenience, one may want to place a
listing, article and search for CV's.
Lastly I am allowing the jobseekers to place their photo
portfolio of their work e.g. hairdoo's, make-up etc.
I want to allow all viewers to search and see these ( I will
try to watermark them for copyright ), but when they click on the
link they have restricted access to the CV until they pay.
I hope somebody understands what I mean, I guess I need to
restrict acces depending upon registration type and what would be
available to them.
Thanks for your time.

Not with that server behavior. You would need to set access
levels based
on what a user is allowed to see. Level 1 for basic access,
level 2 for
a slightly higher level, and so on. If you want to have
different codes
for each type of access, you would then need to code all your
conditional statements by hand.

It depends how you get acknowledgment that they have paid.
You already
know the current access level and user id, so use the payment
acknowledgment to trigger an update to the higher access
level.
